PSK/Altoids tin knife

[Josh Mason]

Had this little altoids knife left over from my last batch. I hammer finished it, and let it sit in some ferric chloride in the annealed state. Acid etches soft steel alot differently. It ended up looking and feeling exactly like a piece of rock. I heat treated and tempered this blade yesterday, and it now has made its own camouflage, almost snake like. It has a very organic and natural feel to it. Very unique.

I still have yet to put an edge on this little fella. Wanted to make it available before I took off today.

Very fine Scotchbrite satin finish
